Old Spyderco Dive Knife

Chris, the extra long one with the prybar handle was called the probe. They also made a folding diver that was like a Mariner on steriods. I've got one and it is one heavy duty (and just plain heavy) knife.

Phantom4 (or anyone else who may be willing to help), do you think you could post a picture of that "mariner on steroids" you described? It sounds interesting and I'd like to know if it is worth tracking one down.

Thanks!

If you try, you may fail. If you don't try, you certainly will.

 
CJL, sorry I can't do pics. But I can tell you it is defintely worth tracking one down.

Chris - no plans to reproduce the dive probes. Very expensive to manufacture. Not enough of the the market was interested to keep the model alive.

I know where one can be found.

It is a display knife, surface is marred but all told in pretty good condtion.

E-mail me if you like.

If anyone is interested, I have a folding Diver available in the for sale forum.

Sorry for the shameless plug,
